This week I dug my heels a bit more into the work, and we had a lot of success. No actual numbers yet, just people are responding well. In Assen there's been a "World Championship Motorcross Tournament" so the people here have been going crazy. I'm not sure if it actually was a world championship since that seems pretty dramatic for such a small town as Assen, but whatever. There was still a ton of people celebrating and getting drunk here. Also, there are bands and some form of music being played all the time. I may or may not have been listening when 'let it go' was being blasted from the centrum.

Another thing that came along with the party was this market. They sold all sorts of stuff like giant Stropewaffels (I know I spelt that wrong), bread, cheese wheels, and any kind of fruit or vegetable you could ever want. I also finally got something I've been dying for since I've arrived here, and that's a watch - a pretty good watch. I found it for 59 Euro too. Beautiful. Given that I was prepared to drop a ton more on a watch, this was super cheap for me. It's a silver automatic watch that charges as you move. So lekker!

Lastly is how cool the Netherlands mission is. The missionaries here are cool. Talking to people and them not understanding a word I say is weird but cool. The buildings, streets, people, bikes, ... everything is really really just cool! Anyway, if you get this within an hour of me sending this, shoot me an email, I probably will be on and we'll have a nice chat back and forth.
